Try not to hurt yourself. You’re not getting any younger.

Will Groot or the talking raccoon be the official mascot
How long will it be before some activist proclaims that Guardians is racist
They were going to go with the Cleveland Spiders, a franchise known for being historically bad. Everyone decided that was a bit too spot on.
Spiders is a great name, and that’s the worst team in baseball history. Really dropped the ball IMO.
I’m outraged that they didn’t change it to the Cleveland Leg Lamps.
Major League is the greatest baseball movie ever...don't give me some horse sh-t about Bull Durham or The Natural.
I am not an Indians fan, but because of that movie I always checked on how the Indians were doing, would look how things were going for them in the box score. Guardians? Go F-ck Yourselves.

Too bad they kept the name Cleveland
They’ve never won a major award.
I was listening to an interview with Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland yesterday who is a Native American and she used the term Indian referring to native Americans, so I'm not sure why this is considered off limits. I can see the case being made about Redskins which could be construed as slanderous or condescending but not Indians.
Lol, is this serious? No clue they were even changing the name. Are all the Native American names being changed?
Thank God. Now racism is over.
Congrats lefties.

Guardians? Makes me think of some poor kid left an orphan and some creepy half-a-pedophile offers to take him off the state's hands for his own purposes...
Easily the worst nickname in baseball, and maybe all of professional sports, though I only know about half the NHL teams...

Not Steamers? Bad move. Google it for the history.
If this was the name for 50+ years no one would bat an eye at it. It's not that bad and it's based on a local landmark, so whatever.
All they needed was for an active tribe/nation to defend the name....in turn, that tribe would've gotten $$$$. Now, nobody wins.
On a scale of 1-10 how rustled are your jimmies.
I'd like to see a Chief Wahoo logo with him in blackface, wearing women's clothes, with a cross necklace waving a Confederate flag, wearing a Covid mask.
I've got a great new name for the Washington Football Team. It's the They’re Dead to Glenn's and You Can Gather All The A******* That Decided To Change The Name And Put Them In A Plane And Run It Into The Side of A Mountains.
It's long I know.
It's long I know.
Cleveland Catfish would be more appropriate. They are usually a bottom feeder (like Cleveland) found in lakes including Lake Erie. Would make a good logo. Guardians is stupid.

The pussification of America continues, tell you what I don't watch any pro sports anymore for several reasons. If I do ever refer to them they will be the Cleveland Indians always, mic drop!!!!!!!!!
I was hoping they would go with the Cleveland Karens, see how stereotyped Caucasians like being the mascot for a professional sports team.
I asked a native American coworker once if he minded being called an Indian. He said, "No, because it reminds me that the White Man was so stupid, or maybe just apathetic, that even after they figured out they weren't in India, they still kept calling them Indians anyway."

Can't be spiders....the black widow specie is racist
You do know a native American (Indian) designed the logo for the Redskins don't you?
Guess so....wonder what new names all the states will be getting. Indian mororcycles will have to bein there somewhere.
THis move has given the Native Americans the thing they have been looking for. They don't want lands or anything like that, they want these nicknames of sports teams to stop....it is too much.
